    Speakeasy Cocktail bar Hidden gem Nikola tesla Intimate atmosphere
    Patent Pending is a speakeasy-style cocktail bar hidden beneath Patent Coffee in the Radio Wave Building, a historic site where Nikola Tesla once conducted his radio experiments. Accessed through a discreet door in the back of the coffee shop, the bar offers a curated selection of inventive cocktails inspired by Tesla's legacy, set in a dimly lit, intimate atmosphere. The menu features unique drinks like the "Impossible Idea," blending Chichicapa Mezcal with Navazos Rum and blackened banana, and the "Hit by a Taxi," combining Japanese Whisky with Armagnac and pu'erh tea. The space is adorned with restored penny tiles from the original Gerlach Hotel, adding to its vintage charm. For those seeking an even more secluded experience, "The Lab" is a hidden cavern accessible through an archway inside Patent Pending, offering additional space for private events and gatherings.
